[Chorus]
Trouble you can't fool me, I see you behind that tree
Trouble you can't fool me, trying to get the ups on me
Trouble you can't fool me, I see you behind that tree
You want to jump on me

[Verse 1]
Work hard for living, wanted just to get paid
But, sure'd be stealing for a year and a day
Would like to see a little sunshine, just to guide my way
Would like to have a little peace of mind
That's why I wanna say you better look out

[Chorus]
Trouble you can't fool me, I see you behind that tree
Look out trouble! You can't fool me, trying to get the ups on me
Trouble you can't fool me, I see you behind that tree
You want to jump on me

[Verse 2]
Trouble taught me a lesson I never never will forget
Now, he took my love, she ain't paid it back yet
I had to find another just to take her place
And I sure do love her, I said we're doing okay
So look out!
[Chorus]
Trouble you can't fool me, I see you behind that tree
Look out trouble! You can't fool me, trying to get the ups on me
Trouble you can't fool me, I see you behind that tree
You want to jump on me

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Well, you know, everyday can't be Sunday (That's right, that's right)
It's a funny thing, it seem like just before daylight is the darkest hour
And you know one thing (What's that ?) Behind every silver lining, there isn't a dark cloud
And you just ain't got time to go 'round subtracting and adding 'cause you'll just be too late
You know one thing ? (What's that?)
Every time you get around a tree, you better stop and grab a brick (Why?)
Old man trouble... laying and waiting on you
That's what I wanna say...

[Chorus]
Trouble you can't fool me, I see you behind that tree
(Look out trouble, you can't fool me)
Trouble you can't fool me, trying to get the ups on me
(Look out trouble, you can't fool me)
Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree
You want to jump on me
(Whoa, whoa trouble you can't fool me)
Trouble you can't fool me, I see you behind that tree
(Look out trouble, you can't fool me)
Trouble you can't fool me, trying to get the ups on me
(Look out trouble, you can't fool me)
Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree
You want to jump on me

[Outro]
(Trouble you can't fool me)
(Talk about trouble, you can't fool me)
(Talk about trouble) Trouble took my money
(You can't fool me) Cadillac's gone
(Talk about trouble) Best suit of clothes
(You can't fool me) All raised up in the closet, oh Lord
(Oh trouble) But I'm so glad
(You can't fool me) Trouble don't last
(Trouble) Always
(You can't fool me) You can't fool me
(Oh trouble, you can't fool me)
(Talk about trouble, you can't fool me)
